Bits and Morsels

NYSD introduces "Bits and Morsels" by
Jordana Z, an ongoing
collection of information from the world of the foodies and
foodblogs:

• Off The Broiler has been the most reliable source for information about
kosher for Passover coke. Unlike the regular Coke which is made with high
fructose corn syrup, the Passover coke is made with natural sugar. In general
and beverages with high fructose corn syrup are unhealthy. That’s
why there is such a demand for Passover coke. To all readers, just because
you are buying Passover coke it does not make you any more health conscious.

• There is nothing I enjoy drinking more than a good cappuccino. This is
heartbreaking to read. [lime]

• Here is a good survey of historic restaurants in New York City. Frank
Bruni decided to do this on the occasion of his review of The
Four Seasons. I am a fan of The Four Seasons, dining in the pool room is
one of those New York experiences that should not be missed regardless
of what Frank Bruni says. [Diner's
Journal, NYT]

• Maybe in a few years school cafeterias will be the healthiest and most
sustainable
places to dine. [Jew

Staples of Chesapeake Bay: Rockfish
and a bag of (crab?!) chips

• Do you know what
Rockfish is? It
is the Maryland state fish and very similar to striped bass. I am in
Chesapeake Bay for the week. I had a delicious traditional Chesapeake
Bay dinner of fresh Rockfish and apple cobbler.

It’s hard to believe that I am only four hours away from New York, everyone
is so mellow here. So long, till we eat again.

PS Looking forward to some good reading; Paula Dean’s autobiography
just came out.
